    Trans leak - No forward, only reverse

    It's probably the bulkhead plug. Happened to me and I thought the same thing. There is a gasketed plug with an electrical connector on it that can leak when parked. As I recall, the ATF cost more than the plug. Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk

    Dead at the Dealership Parking Lot

    I had something like that happen and it was the battery. The Expy ran fine once jumped, but the battery wouldn't hold a charge and was dead once I shut it off. Unless you have a new battery, start simple and go from there. Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk

    2009 expedition can't put more than 18 gallons of gas in

    Do you know that your fuel level (gauge reading) is accurate? That is, it may have a reading like you only have 5 gallons in the tank, but may actually have 10 (to use a random number) and therefore may only be able to get 18 gallons in the tank. I apologise if you covered this in another...

    I found a 2011 EL with a perfect service history...

    I would check the frame right behind the front wheels. While the one you are looking at is newer than my 07, there's a plate on the frame that rusts pretty badly, especially on the passenger side. I think the ac drain drips on that one. I would also look at the back side of the door sills (on...

    2011 Expedition P0442

    I have the same issue with my 2011 SHO. I've replaced the purge valve at the cannister under the car (not sure where it is on the Expy) and the line with the solenoid under the hood. I suspect that it's the fuel flapper thing or the charcoal cannister itself since the light came back on this...

    Attach Front License Plate Bracket How?

    I had a similar issue on my 07. There's a metal support close behind the top attachment points and I couldn't get screws or bolts to fit. I ended up using zip ties (black zip ties on a black truck aren't too horrible). Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk

    2014 strut replacement

    You could look into the Rancho leveling struts if you're doing all 4 and considering a lift. I think the lift is in the order of 2" in front and 1" rear. Nothing big, it's only leveling struts. They are also adjustable if you tow or carry a load at times. I had them on my 2007 EL and they lasted...

    Replaced pads and rotors, brake pedal sinking to floor now?!?

    I would suspect the lines (which you have ordered). I had issues with mine where they would bleed ok and looked fine, but must have collapsed internally. New front lines fixed it up right. Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk

    DVD Question

    We had the remote in our 07 as well. I believe there is a combination of the radio buttons that allows some control (I think pushing the #3 and#5 buttons mutes or locks the rear DVD). Sorry I don't remember all of those details but other may know what I'm thinking of. Sent from my moto z3 using...

    Sun Roof sagging and leaks in car wash

    I had a similar situation with my 07 Expedition. It looked just like your photo with the "sag" in the middle. I replaced the rubber weatherstrip on mine and adjusted it with the 4 torx screws as mentioned by 99. My weatherstripping had a gouge and after 11 years was pretty oxidized. I don't...

    Anyone have brakes for sale?

    I have a new set of pads and rotors taking up space in my garage. They are brand new and I haven't gotten around to putting them on. I will get the deets on them this evening and let you know. We can take it from there if they are something you might be interested in.

    DEATC diagnotic?

    I have a 2007 Expy EL 4x4 EB with the DEATC that has the three "zones" (driver, passenger, rear). Is there a diagnostic program built into the control unit? I remember my kiddos 97 Grand Marquis has a basic diagnostic program in the HVAC unit and didn't know it the Expy did as well. I wanted...

    What did you do to the expy today

    Reattached the front license plate holder with a couple of zip ties and a screw where I could reach. It looks better than the 3 holes and rub marks on the bumper cover. Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk

    New to me 2007 EL LIMITED & all it's problems

    If you still have brake issues replace the front flex brake lines. Mine was a mess until those were replaced and its 1000% percent better just from that inexpensive repair.

    Wider tires?

    My 07 came with 255 series Bridgestone APTs 18s and I upgraded to wider tires. I went with the same width as the 20s (275 I think) Firestone Destination ATs. I found it to track better down the highway. Mileage is a little worse. Otherwise I don't think it made a whole lot of difference that I...

    Oil analysis as a predictor for cam phaser/timing chain/cam/follower issues?

    I have a 2007 with 200k and have run synthetic and semi-syn (Motorcraft) 5W-20 at 5k intervals since I picked up the Bus. I've had regular oil analysis. A couple of comments - 1) Blackstone recommended I try 7500 mile interval from what they saw in the analysis and my driving habits, 2) No...

    New to me 2007. Just a couple questions

    I was lazy and didn't want to tear apart the headliner to run wires. For the rear camera, I use a Pearl unit. It Bluetooths in to your phone and the camera is on a solar powered frame. It has a dongle that plugs in to the OBD port. Generally it works well. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

    High Speed Brake Pull

    Ditto on the hoses. I had a similar problem and it ended up being the hoses. New hoses and all is well! Good luck tracking it down. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

    Did rear pads, rotors and parking brake hardware this weekend. Those parking brake springs are a pita! Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

    High Mileage Maintenance Schedule

    I have 198000 on my 2007 EL. I've been doing oil changes every 5000 miles with 5W-20 or 5W-30 synthetic or semi-syn. Changed plugs at 100k and 180k. Runs like new still! Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
